About the Item

Gianni Pinna Sculptural Table Lamps, Carved wood and fabric, Italy, 1970 Gianni Pinna's 1970s rare table lamps, carved from Padouk wood, draws clear inspiration from the abstract and stylized forms of Tanzanian Makonde art. Known for their intricate carvings, Makonde artists often depict interlocking human figures symbolizing unity and continuity, a concept echoed in Pinna’s geometric and evolving vertical forms. The hand-carved wooden base features a series of geometric shapes and concave details, subtly varied in their texture and tone, creating a sense of movement within the piece. The lamp’s cream fabric shade provides a soft contrast to the dark wood, offering a functional element that enhances the sculptural quality. The neutral shade blends into its surroundings, allowing the intricate craftsmanship of the wood to stand out. This lamp is not only a lighting fixture but also a decorative object, merging art with functionality in a design that complements both traditional and modern spaces. Its craftsmanship and cultural influences mark it as an expressive piece within the broader context of mid-century modern Italian design. Our in-house atelier in Italy carefully double-checks each piece. Please contact us for additional information.
